Structure-first thinking
Use links, tags, categories, and outlines to keep arguments from dissolving into a pile of fragments.
Native Apple apps
SwiftUI surfaces for macOS and iPadOS.
Research-first
Notes, links, PDFs, tags, and drafts stay close.
Private by design
No analytics or tracking frameworks.
StrataWrite
Write from the structure of your research, not from a blank page.
StrataWrite is built around the realities of scholarly drafting: notes become evidence, evidence becomes structure, and structure becomes manuscript prose.
Notes and manuscripts side by side
Move between source notes, linked ideas, and long-form writing without changing tools.
Bi-directional links, tags, and Spotlight search
Find the thread again when a project has sprawled across weeks of reading.
Daily word goals and clean exports
Track drafting momentum and export Markdown or plain text when it is time to move on.
Writing environment
A focused surface for the messy middle of academic work.
The interface keeps research structure visible without turning the page into a project-management board. The writing stays central.
StrataRead
Read closely, annotate deliberately, and carry insights into writing.
StrataRead gives PDFs a quiet, paper-forward workspace for the reading stage of research, with annotations designed to flow into StrataWrite or your existing note system.
PDF-first reading
The paper remains the center of attention, with library tools kept close but restrained.
Annotation-centered workflow
Highlight arguments, claims, methods, and passages while the source context remains visible.
Built for synthesis
Use StrataRead as the reading surface and StrataWrite as the place where evidence becomes prose.
What the suite is for
Research software for people who already have a serious writing practice.
StrataSuite avoids the everything-app trap. It keeps the reading surface, note network, and manuscript surface distinct enough to stay usable.
Apple-native polish
SwiftUI, CloudKit, native text systems, and platform conventions instead of a wrapped web interface.
Research privacy
Your notes, manuscripts, PDFs, and annotations stay on device or in your private iCloud account if sync is enabled.
